This is a replacement lawn mower blade set (typically 2 blades) designed for 42-inch cutting decks on select John Deere lawn tractors. Itβs an aftermarket alternative to OEM part GY20810, intended for residential mowing on flat to moderate terrain.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your deck size is 42 inches β this blade only fits decks that require a 21 3/8-inch length and 2.6-inch width. Check your model number: this fits John Deere 100-series (102, 105, 107, 115, 125, 135) and D100-series (D100, D105) tractors. It does NOT fit D110, D120, D125, D130, D140, D150, D155, D160, D170, or any X300-series decks. Measure your existing bladeβs length (center hole to cutting tip) and width (flat part). Verify the center hole diameter is 1 inch (common for these models). This is an aftermarket part β itβs not OEM, so blade thickness and balance may differ slightly from factory blades.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Caltric blades are budget-friendly but often require balancing before installation. Check for warping or uneven edges out of the box.
- Installation difficulty: Easy β remove the old blade with a socket wrench, note the washer/bolt orientation, and torque the new blade to 40-50 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool to hold the spindle.
- Common gotcha: These blades are stamped steel, not hardened like OEM. They may dull faster if you hit rocks, roots, or thick weeds. Inspect after every 10 hours of use.
- Fitment trick: If your deck has a raised center (discharge tunnel), verify blade clearance β the 2.6-inch width can rub on some decks if the spindle is worn.
Should You Buy It
If you have a 42-inch John Deere 100 or D100 series and need a low-cost replacement for regular grass cutting (no heavy debris or commercial use), this is a solid budget pick. But if you mow over rough ground, need maximum durability, or want OEM balance, spend more on a factory blade.
